It rebranded to Masternaut in 2012. In 2013, Masternaut acquired Three X, a mobile workforce software business, from GE. Previously a Masternaut competitor, AIM-listed Cybit, led by CEO Richard Horsman, acquired Thales Telematics from Thales Group and public sector telematics specialist Amatics in 2007. Cybit made a further acquisition in 2008 of Truck24, a German Telematics Logistics provider, for €4 million. In 2009, private equity firm Francisco Partners acquired Cybit Holdings plc in a £23 million deal, taking the company private. Cybit also acquired Oxloc, a specialist non-powered asset tracking devices provider, that year. Meanwhile, Masternaut was on the acquisition trail, signing hosting and data store company Fibre-City for £6 million. In 2011, Masternaut merged with Cybit in a £100m deal to create Europe's largest telematics solutions provider, with a 10,000-strong customer base spread across 32 countries. Masternaut signed a partnership with Telefonica in 2012, estimated to be worth $910million between 2012–2020. In 2014 Masternaut Group Holdings was sold by Francisco Partners to Summit Partners and Fleetcor Technologies for an undisclosed sum. The company also appointed Dhruv S. Parekh as CEO of Masternaut in 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Masternaut」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
